FutureB
The Bears let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jalon Walker, the No. 20 name on the board, stolen at the 72nd overall pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Bears clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 39th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at No. 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slid further than he should have, and pick No. 55 is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at Round 2, Pick 30 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick63
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They talked themselves into Donovan Jackson at slot 63, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach pick 72 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the 85th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to slot 131, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick193
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at No. 193 for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
They robbed the room for Luke Lachey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick235
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the 235th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
They went early on Shilo Sanders in Round 7, Pick 26, and the value did not follow. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Taking Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 253 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
